Do people from all levels within your organization have the same understanding of strategic priorities?
The best organizations are the best aligned. While in this fast-changing business world there is not a single recipe for success, strategic alignment ranks among the top initiatives by senior leaders.
65% of organizations have an agreed-upon strategy. Only 14% of employees understand it. One in ten organizations successfully implements it. Our job is to help you beat the odds and execute your strategy better and faster.
Strategic alignment means you can respond faster to market changes by arranging all elements of your business to support your mission. And it should be done in a way that makes sense for the business, but also for people to understand and apply.
What are the benefits of improving strategic alignment?
Aligning your organization and your team is one of the best investments you can make.
- Improve the probability of successful innovation and meeting customer demands
- Increase the organizational agility and adjust to changes
- Take better advantage of existing talent
- Increase profitability
Is this solution for your organization?
If you experience two or more of the following systems, then improving alignment is for your organization:
– [ ] Multitasking, high workload, burnout, stress
– [ ] People talk more than they listen
– [ ] Information is not shared between departments
– [ ] Lack of follow-up to commitments
– [ ] Open communication and feedback are avoided
– [ ] Internal competition and silos
– [ ] Lack of clarity about expectations and priorities
– [ ] Deficient processes and delays
– [ ] Lack of empowerment, too few people is involved in decision making
– [ ] People don’t support key initiatives
